Manual control over focus is simple. The
focus mode button (AF/MF) (1) toggles
between automatic and manual focus. The
MF icon is displayed on the data panel and
monitors when the camera is in the manual-
focus mode.
Use the focus ring (2) at the rear of the lens
barrel to make a sharp image in the EVF or
on the LCD monitor. The approximate
distance from the CCD to the subject is
displayed on the monitors. Manual focus can
be used with movie recording and in macro
mode.

The magnification button can be used to enlarge the centre of the image by X4 to aid
manual focusing. This function has no effect on the final image size. This function is
activated using the Custom 1 section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80); activating
this function disables the digital zoom. Electronic magnification can only be used to
check manual focus. The magnified display cannot be used to set the exposure.
Press the magnification button on the back of the camera.
• The magnifier icon is displayed on the monitors when electronic
magnification is in effect.
• Pressing the magnification button a second time cancels the
function.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, the
magnified display is cancelled showing the entire image area.
